The last time I seemed to have written about this Flower Sugar Hexagon project was way back in 2011. I didn’t think that much time had flown by, but Pam has made two hexagons, so I guess it has.
My design walls have been empty for several weeks while I work on small projects; the 3D items not needing much design wall space. I also love piecing so much that I didn’t want to be tempted away from the small projects that have been on my list for awhile.
My mom came over for a visit with the Young Man after being on vacation and down with Grama for several weeks. When I arrived home from work she told me that she had raced upstairs to see what was on the design wall and was so disappointed to see NOTHING. She looked a little worried as well. I felt bad.
This hexie project has been on my mind and it occurred to me that I could put it up on the design wall and see what I saw.
The only other photos I have of this quilt is laying on the floor. Laying on the floor is different, for me, than hanging on the wall. I seem to be able to see so much more when pieces are vertical. It must be the perspective or the angle.
I found the piece and put it up on the portable design wall. Looking at it after not having seen it for awhile, I noticed some interesting things:
- My balance of different fabrics is pretty good.
- The piece is tiny. It is less than half the size of the Swoon. I have a lot of hexies to cut
- This piece does cheer up the room.
As I said in one of the previous posts,Adrianne of Little Bluebell, introduced me to the cutting technique I used for these hexies. You can find the cutting instructions on her blog.
I hope I won’t think too much about sewing more pieces together. I still need to work on small projects.

I love the colors in this one, Jaye. And I’m thinking since you are Artquiltmaker, you can stop at any size or shape you want and call the top finished. I’m just sayin’.
Well, true, but I don’t want to have a shawl laying around. I am thinking I will need to get a vacation house to match all of these pink and orange and flowery quilts.
I’m at a similar point with my hexies. I just can’t figure out what I want the finished project to look like or how it will be used.
Right now it’s just entertainment in the car since I am doing mine by hand.
I was thinking about a border last night as I went to sleep. I don’t know if it needs a border, but it will certainly be easier to quilt and bind.
